    that damn airplane is too damn big, it's really not meant to fit anywhere!!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Maybe they should have thought of folding wings.

    Hmmm... it seems the A-380 may be a contender for my new aviation failure thread.... j/k
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Well Tom and I have discussed this. A large component of the 380 is that Airbus needs something to stand out. First it had the fastest, now the largest.


    That said, they wingtip sheared right off, right?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    It did, they flew it to Tolouse and fixed it in a few hours, but it didn't fly the planned demo. A Korean Air A380 flew instead.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
